Red Bull's cynical attempt to "give the place back" did not, as far as
I am aware, draw any inferences from the FIA/stewards as a tactic. Did
it?
I think they should make clear that when the alternative is a penalty
for "leaving the track and gaining and advantage" letting a car past
while maintaining a lasting advantage would be an inadequate response.
I was reminded of Spa 2008 and came across this article from 2018...
which I found interesting. https://www.racefans.net/2018/07/19/hamilton-fia-screwed-spa-2008-f1-win/
I think at the time we concluded that telling drivers to stay behind
for two corners would have been a good idea but I note that that would
not have been sufficient in this case.

One possibility is that you could change the rule so you must give
give back the position at the same point on the track just as soon as
you are informed that you need to give the place. In that way, the
infringing driver would be put into largely the same tactical
situation as he would have been if he hadn't gained/kept his position
by infringing the rules.
You could even go so far as to include that IF the infringing driver
gives back the place before the ruling comes down, then he can do so
at a point of his choosing.

Lewis was certainly screwed by the FIA, but letrCOs not forget that
this was at the height of Ferrari International Assistance, and
Raikkonen was driving rCa a Ferrari.

Trouble with the two corners idea is that, at Monza say, that would
mean a clear run from the second Lesmo right down to the Parabolica.

Yup. It's really about the principle of maintaining a lasting advantage.
You might remember, better than I, that during the race someone took a
short cut and cleverly lifted so that any advantage was yielded. I
think we want that kind of sensible behaviour to be encouraged which necessitates fiercely discouraging the opportunity to gain advantage
through s form of professional foul.
I think that yesterday Max's driving reinforced the view that the
steward truly fucked up in Brasil. I have never been a huge fan of
football but quite enjoyed watching the odd game. What truly put me off
was what I saw as the growth of the "professional foul". I hate to
think F1 is heading in that direction (on track as well as off, which
has happened all too long) but that is what these controversial
incidents feel like.

Meh. Not needed.
It just needs the stewards to make sure the drivers know that any
advantage must be completely neutralized before attempting to re-pass.
Being closer to the back of a car than you would otherwise have been is
an advantage, whether drs is involved or not.

I belive it was after Hamilton was robbed in Spa, that they changed
ruling to say you could not retake the place handed back @ the next
corner.
It seems academic to me as he toasted his rears in the battle with
ham & would have been a sitting duck anyway

One possibility is that you could change the rule so you must
give give back the position at the same point on the track just
as soon as you are informed that you need to give the place.
Meh. Not needed.
It just needs the stewards to make sure the drivers know that any
advantage must be completely neutralized before attempting to
re-pass.
But "completely neutralized" is highly subjective.
As is the stewards role a lot of the time. If it were not you wouldn't
get yourself into so many nonsensical arguments. ;)
...but this is not "highly" subjective. It's up to the offender to
reduce any room for doubt.
Faux objectivity is not more equitable.
I accept that as your inability to actually show a scenario where your
claim would work.
I had forgotten how they had dismissed Verstappen's second cynical
attempt to avoid a penalty as inadequate.

They did?
As the investigation had already started, I'm surprised they even
considered it.
Saying that the attempt was 'inadequate' suggests that under
different circumstances it may have changed the outcome of that investigation.
As intended.
The whole point of suggesting a driver give a place back is to mitigate
any charge of a lasting advantage.

That is not how I have understood it, although I may be picking at
nits.
The point of giving a place back is to avoid the need for an
investigation.
Once an investigation has started, it is duty bound to look only at
the offense. Anything that happens afterwards (the giving back of the
place) shouldn't be considered.
The offence being considered is a "lasting advantage". If the place is
given up and there is clearly no lasting advantage there is no offence.
That is why the race director suggests the team do so or gives them
that option rather than referring the incident to the stewards
immediately.

ok. Agreed.
My point is that once it has been referred to the stewards, once the stewards have begun their investigation, it is then too late to give
the place back. The act of giving back the place is done to try and
avoid an investigation.
In the incident with Max, whereby he gave the place back a second
time, this occurred after the investigation had begun. and therefore could/should not considered by the stewards in their deliberations.
The above is how I believed the F1 cogs turned.
The statement that the stewards considered the second attempt to be 'inadequate' suggests that they did consider it, and this is counter
to how I thought things worked.
Hope my point is clearer now.
